Payatas Portraits

February 2010 at Payatas, Quezon City

Many hobbyists, passionate photographers take the slum areas as their subject for many reasons... however for us, it is out of gratitude and not mere pity. We enjoy both the art of clicking  that shutter, seeing beyond, expressions of one's eye adjunct from one's imagination, we now gave a little token that we admire, appreciate as they are and are compassionate in their circumstances.

Flickristas Indios organized an outreach program for whilst of help to the kids in a small community in Payatas

eyes meet lens

talk with my lens

Bounty hope
